Overview
Homegrown: Sports Agent Empire is a competitive roguelike sports agency management sim developed and published by SL_RS. Instead of coaching the team or playing the match, you run the agency behind the scenes.
Each run is a twenty-season career played out in weekly decisions, and every career ends the same way: the Retirement Package, a full interactive review of your run before your final Power Score posts to a global monthly leaderboard. The game launched on October 19, 2026, and supports English, French, Spanish (Spain and Latin America), Korean, and Simplified Chinese.
Highlights
- Roguelike careers: Each run lasts about an hour, covering twenty seasons of weekly decisions. No two runs play the same, and the roguelike structure encourages replayability.
- Four distinct leagues: The game features four leagues with real salary-cap rules, adding a layer of strategic depth as you manage contracts and negotiate deals.
- Interactive Retirement Package: At the end of every career, you get a full interactive review of your run before your final Power Score is posted to a global monthly leaderboard. This feature turns every run into a competitive event.
- Cross-platform leaderboards: Monthly global leaderboards are cross-platform with mobile, so your score competes against players on other devices.
- Steam Achievements at launch: The game ships with Steam Achievements, giving you extra goals to chase during your careers.
- Light and dark mode: Toggle between light and dark themes to suit your preference.
- Free demo: An 8-season demo is available, complete with its own all-time leaderboard, so you can try the core loop before committing.
Who It's For
If you enjoy management sims, sports strategy, or roguelike runs with meaningful choices, Homegrown: Sports Agent Empire is worth a look. The weekly decision format keeps the pace brisk, and the leaderboard integration adds a competitive edge that pure single-player sims often lack.
The demo is a great way to see if the agency-side perspective clicks with you.
